I have a bad (but cleanable) DCCV any interest?

[ecarlcl]

Last spring I replaced my DCCV because it was sticking open. I understand you can take them apart and clean them, but I went ahead and bought new one anyways because I didn't want to possibly have to do the job twice.

I still have the old one and wanted to ask if there was any interest in it before I tossed it. My expensive fix could someone else's cheap fix.

Some you can clean, but others have shorted solenoid coils. Are you sure of which problem you had?

check with DVOM

Check across the three pins, one is the common and the other two coils. you should read less than 23 ohms if coils are good.

That test will find any open coils.

To test for shorted coils, also check for any readings that are less than 15 ohms, then test from any of the pins to the metal case of the solenoids. That should measure as more than 1M ohms (1,000,000 ohms).

If you blew the fuse, would that mean chances are your coil is shorted someway? Seems like a pretty straight forward reasoning.

But I would rather spend the $100 for the new dccv. Some things just aren't worth messing with and $100 isn't bad.

As far as you need to dig for this repair I would have to agree it is more cost effective to get a new one.

That seems to be the consensus. I'll just toss it.

+1 for bone stock. Every once in awhile, I like seeing them untouched(past tint of course.....LOL).
